[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It happens some --not that frequently--before or after middle school if they feel strongly that the child will be overmatched academically at the next level up. Both boys and girls (although girls seem to have better study habits and work harder to keep up, so I think more boys then girls). There have been some past threads on this. I think it is very upsetting in the short term, but long term if there is a child with major learning issues or who just struggles across the board, it's not doing the child a favor to keep them at a school where they feel like "the slow one.". And the Upper School is rigorous--teachers will give failing grades and the work load is significant. With that said, there is till a considerable range of ability in the Upper School.[/quote] Are you a Sidwell parent? Or just repeating what you've heard from other people?[/quote]
